RELIGIOUS NEGATEoN.
Destroy Nothing Until You Find
Something That is Better.

something That is BETTER.
DR.. II. NJ. Simmons, of the First Uni
tartan church, preached On the precept,
do Not Destroy Anything Till You Have
Something Better to Take its Place" The
first half of the discourse was in defense of
this precept He said religious growth is
what we want, and only so much destruc-
ton as will aid the growth But he said
every thing that opposes the growth of
humanity and reverence should be de-
StrOyed. When farmer finds thistle
going 10 seed in his garden, he does not
say. 4 must love this till | can get peach
tree and plant there" or when he finds Il
rattle-snake on his porch he does not say,
Il must protect this reptile till [ can get
canary bird and put in its place." He de-
str0yS both at once. knowing that their
place is better than they are. So those the
illogical dogmaS which are more detrimental
to reverence than thistleS to 4 field, and
spirit Of bigOtry and injustice which has
damaged society more than serpentS, ought
to be destroyed without delay, for their
room is more religious than they are And
nature sends better thoughts and sentiments
to take their place, just as she sends her
grass INTO the cleaned swamp without arti-
fetal sowing. Even if we do not have
perfect system of theology to plant. it is
well 70 clear out the dark thickets of
thought, malarOuS boys of sentiment. and
let i'll Gods natural life and light For
light, which is another religious symbol
fills the universe, and the best way to get it
is to remove what shuts it out. Theology
is too often like Gothic church with mar
row and stained windows. and where the
preacher stands by his candles at the alter
on a sunny Sunday and says, ''Do not de-
stroy our little light till you can get bet
ter" There is better waiting outside,
and lighting up a revelation there, too. For
Gods revelation is not confined to one
book. but is written everywhere in lasting
skies and living seed, in fair flowers and
fairer faces, in human lives and loves and
hopes. And whenever any church walls
out all of this requisite revelation. excerpts
the Bible, and then read that grand old
book in such dim light as to arrive only at
the gospel of Gods wrath and mans de-
pravity. then it is better to destroy the
darkness and let in the natural but not
less divine, light, which is waiting to fill
the temple of religion with sunshine and
with song.

MANx FAILURES IN LIFE.
Rev Van ARda DiscOurses of the
General Want cS Devotion.


Rev=Glfarles y. Van Anda, of the Cen
tenary church, preached yesterday morning
from II. Cor. Vi, IT'S. He said that
many failures in life were caused by want
of devotion. Great labor was the price of
success, and those who would not pay the
price must not expect the prize. Dickens
declared he had no genius except for hard
work. The same law holds in religious
matters. \ man fails to live holy life be-
cause he does not fully devote himself to
God. Too many overlook the fact that
God will not allow Of any compromise with
sin. Neither property. friends, nor life it.
self must come between us and Christ. To
be follower of Jesus a man must forSake
all that he hath. This condition implies
reformation when conduct is in violation OF
Gods commandments. This applies to
what many are pleased to wink at as mere
irregularities no less than gross vices. Sin
i'll the germ is as truly sin as in the ripe
fruit This separation from sin has refer
ence to a corrupt heart as well as wicked
life. When the evil dispositions OF our
hearts are shown us by the Spirit, and we
refuse to accept Christ as Savior from
these as well as from guilt, we then become
guilty of inbred sin. When we follow the
Spirit and accept Jesus, God receives lis
into His favor and He becomes our father
This relation insureS us first the special love
of God. protection from all evil and an
abundant provision for all necessities. All
that God demands of us is not worth men
tioning when compared with that blessed
portion secured by our compliance.

WILL THE BARREMONsTRATE.
The Judgeship Promised 10 Col. HI.
G. Hicks if the Bar will StandIt

Interesting developments have been
made in relation to the appointment of the
fourth judge of this judicial district, pro-
vided the bill becomes a law, which now
seems probable. Col. Fred Hooker wanted
the seat on the wool sack, ana frankly went
to Gov. McGin and asked for it. McGill
said that he had promised the office to Col.
Henry g. Hicks, provided no remonstranee
came from the Hennepin county bar. Ii
seems altogether probable now that this re-
monstrance will be forthcoming. Quite a
number OF Republican attorneys came into
possession of the facts given above on Sat
urday. and movement was at once put on
loot to prevent the appointment A list

CURRENT COMMENT.

Now that Col. Hicks has been promised the
judgeship, under certain conditions, it is
amusing to recall his pronunciamento at the
conference at which Judge Rea was nomi-
mated. The Democrats unanimously ac-
quiesced III the nomination. for the purpose
of keeping the judiciary out of politics. but
at the same time it was suggested that if {,
fourth judge be appointed it should be a
Democrat. Col. Hicks spoke for the Repub-
hcans in reply, and agreed to this, adding:
And if the Democrats shall name such a
man as that honored Democrat LLochren now
on the bench. pledge myself TO secure the
unanimous acquiescence Of the Republican
members Of the bar" This was at the AL
gonquin club rooms last fall. And yet Col,
Hicks is now seeking that very position.

shutter thc 1HeuceRheF.
Rev. NJ. D. Shutter, of the Church of the
Redeemer, preached from Mark 1-13. Fol
lowing are some extracts from the sermon:
It is only as we transfer the scene from
the desert to the soul that we get any true
idea of this mighty transaction. The out
ward incidents must be transformed into
spiritual facts. To follow the letter is to
be led into absurdities.
Those who have themselves had strug-
giles within can appreciate something Of the
nature and power of that conflict. We
argue backward from ourselves. We inter-
nret His temptation under the light of our
own. That wilderness Of .Iudea is in every
heart to-day. In your soul and mine the
wrestling between Christ and satan goes
forever on. We need not explore the Holy
land to find exact localities. We need not
eneculate about the Mount Of Temptation.
